Jbl Vs Riffe In The Distance Competition

[Hypersquid1]

hey every one, i really really really want to buy a gun, and i was looking at the riffes and the JBLs . the jbl sawed off magnum says that the range is around 12 feet. the riffe competitor #00 standard says that the range is 8 feet. are these ranges accurate and does range really matter? would the riffe gun have more power even though the range is not as good? is there any way to make either of the guns have more power or speed? i am going to try and buy the riffe, just because i've heard that they are quieter than the jbl and i think they look nicer :duh and i think that the riffe gun will last longer and give me more for my money. and feedback would be great, now i've gotta go write a 6 page essay for class.

Buy the Riffe... range is dependant on band power and length of shooting line - if using one.

Hypersquid1,

I own JBL Sawed off and couple of Riffe's but not C#0.

Now, JBL Sawed off is a very powerful gun in the short range, but u can't use it if you are asking for accuracy beyond 2 meters. I have used it strickly for hacking good size grouper, lingcod, etc in holes. Strenght is thick shaft, strong build, and cheap. Weakness of JBL; comes with 3 bands with metal wishbones which I have and changed to dynema, not accurate; trajectory drops very steeply after 1.5-2 meters, very noisy . If you are going to use it for strictly for hole hunting, go for it. However, If you want some range and better accuracy, try a Riffe 2X or 3X. You can use a 2X for all round purpose.

I would say gor for Riffe, I see a couple going on sale at ebay. perhaps, start with a used one. Don't worry Riffe are build pretty sturdy and last a long long time.

have owned lots of JBL's. that the "listed" range and half it.

they are closerange guns for sure. if you can afford it I would choose the Riffe out of the two (or better yet a sexy Euro style steel slinger )

that sawed of magnum will shoot 12 feet....straight down off a 13 ft wall
